Excerpts reflect satirical remarks on corruption in Chicago politics and reform momentum. Mentions John L. Sullivan inspired clubs, Cuba governorship voting, and Harper’s Weekly stance on American empire amid postwar disarmament concerns. Mentions Tarbintar and wireless telegraphy concept as coinages.
Nathan Hale mourned at execution that he had one life to give for his country. A Chicago employee facing discharge to cut costs regrets losing his job and wishes for two positions to avoid removal, failing to share Hale's patriotic view.
Paris provides a fine site in the American quarter near the Trocadero for an equestrian Washington statue. It will be unveiled July 3 to mark Washington accepting his general's commission, with a probable demonstration of Franco American friendship by a longtime ally.
The text notes odd parallels between William Armstrong's bribery defense in a Chicago rail suit and a Congo Free State atrocity. It describes the Zappa Zap tribe burning villages, killing eighty, and cannibalizing five prisoners during a rubber and ivory revenue expedition. It suggests Congo rulers could learn revenue tactics from American municipal experts without lethal excess.
A Worcester County man on eight acres near Paxton raises 7590 bushels of potatoes 25000 cucumbers from one acre 800 barrels of cabbages 700 bushels of tomatoes 350 barrels of carrots 600 bushels of parsnips 1100 bushels of turnips 400 bushels of beets and 1160 heads of cauliflower plus squashes and other produce for family use. The high yields suggest profitable marketing and show why New England abandoned farms are being reclaimed.
The piece argues anti imperialists push a risky policy of guaranteed intervention and warns it would trigger a world war. It cites Senator Walcott and Senator Wolcott defending US duty after insurrection, emphasizing humane governance and stability over withdrawal.
Senator Wolcott delivers a sharp rebuke to Senator Pettigrew and his followers over the Philippine issue. He accuses blunderbuss partisans of undermining the administration and argues that Democrats would crush the insurrection if in power, while noting distrustful and disgruntled elements spanning communities.
The Senate heard Pettigrew rail against McKinley calling for impeachment talk and accusing the British government of directing actions. He blasted the British government and Rudyard Kipling, attacked British rule in Egypt, and asserted that white men cannot thrive in the tropics. The remark drew contrast with Billy Mason's comparatively mild intelligence.
The Minneapolis Tribune notes the administration aims to reveal ammunition actions before opening but warns a broadside will follow. It argues no rational citizen sees a need for covering up anything after observing the Spanish war operations.
The report that William Jennings Bryan urged Kentucky Democrats to honor the electorate’s choice is denied. The piece notes the claim was improbable and suggests Bryan would oppose fraud to block party control, warning that Goebel’s alleged theft of the governorship could end power for Bryan and his party in Kentucky.
In a sermon on Creeds and Trusts Rev. Alexander Kent of the People’s Church in Chicago argued religion and theology fuel trusts. He said if tariff is the mother of trusts, then popular theology is their grandmother, but since tariff is not the mother, his theory is fallacious.
The Copperheads are described as feeble and reluctant to oppose further defeat, likened to their weaker state in 1861 64. The St Louis Globe Democrat notes they carried northern states in 1862 63 and dominated the Democratic convention in 1864, but failed to win the country then and will fail again now.
The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune deems the Danish West India islands a reasonable, marketable purchase that would complete coaling and harbor stations in western waters and declares them a desirable addition regardless of other considerations.
Reports from Washington cover Senate maneuvers over J S Clarkson and arid land bill loans, Moody’s army retirement proposal, and interstate commerce testimony for Denver freight charges. Navy and treasury notes emphasize no change in shipbuilding and public money deposits, with parlor talks on diplomacy and Boer War sympathy in Congress and public rallies.
